Recommended Posts

Kevin Love recorded his 52nd straight double-double tonight in the first-half against the Pacers. Breaking Moses Malone's modern NBA record of 51 straight.

MINNEAPOLIS -- Minnesota Timberwolves forward Kevin Love has recorded his 52nd double-double in a row, surpassing Moses Malone for the longest streak since the ABA and NBA merged in 1976.

Love didn't waste much time in extending the streak. He grabbed 10 rebounds in the first 16 minutes and scored his 10th point at the free throw line with 6:51 to play in the first half.

The crowd gave him a standing ovation and he waved as his achievement was put on the big screen above the court.

Love played with a bulky brace on his bruised left knee and wasn't sure he was going to play until shortly before game time. He was injured on Monday against Dallas, when he tied Malone's mark of 51 in a row with 23 points and 17 rebounds.

The last time Love did not have a double-double was Nov. 19 against the Los Angeles Lakers when he was scoreless with eight rebounds.

Why isn't he in consideration for MVP. Someone tell me and give me a better excuse than he is not on a good team. (That's not his fault.)

MVPs win games. check D Rose out. Also, MVP has to be one of the top offensive players with scoring and assists. And he has to be a monster, check KD and Kobe out

:lol: ^^

Congrats to Kevin Love. He's been going ham on the boards all year long, and he aint no slouch when it comes to scoring(20.8 ppg). If he wasnt on the T-Wolves, he would be in the MVP running for sure. Dude is a beast, and like I said earlier in the year, he's a machine!

    • Torn achilles.  The reason he was out more than half of last season.
    • When the panthers are bad, we sell a shockingly low number of jerseys, and options become limited. In the good years, we had a lot of different options. I think T-Mac is going to have to play well on the field for his jersey to get produced in the FUSE template. 
    • it's not the only way to be a threat, it's certainly important for certain roles in an offense and for certain type players and offenses.  as is the ability to get open quickly and generate easy throws.   as far as Renfrow goes, I have consistently said he is sort of his own thing and not really in comp w/ others here.  It's a niche role/job.  Anyone talking about something else from him isn't me.  Just depends if we want to do what he does and if he can still do it.  as far as AT goes, yeah, he does lower our ceiling given the % of our offense that goes through him and his limitations at this stage in his career.    He should be a roleplayer, much like Renfrow should be if we want to insert what he does into the O....not an O being run through him.    Renfrow isn't going to lower the ceiling if used correctly.  Niche assignments to move chains.   It's like a short yardage RB that comes in to pick a random play.  Renfrow is best at that 3rd and 4 type scenario IMO. AT lowers the ceiling because we build the pass game off an old WR that shouldn't be the focal point of a pass attack.  Not to mention, Bryce Young is practically tailor made to get the ball in the hands of YAC players.   So you need those type on the field.
